[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 705164, member: 1550"] Pisces, I would have to say that pot, like alcohol, is safe recreationally (not every day) for adult kids. If pot use is simultaneously hooked to new, disturbing behavior, lack of motivation and drug using friends then it ceases to be a benign drug. Driving while high is also driving while intoxicated. I would not toss out a grown kid for recreational pot smoking if it was not affecting his behavior and was not in my house (nobody smokes period in hpuse...i can't tolerate smoke or weed smell) but I'd consider it if my adult child refused to work, follow house rules and hung with seedy young adults. My daughter did this until we made her leave (them she quit everything) and those adult kids she hung with were a danger to all of us. So so just don't see either pot or alcohol as necessarily safe or ok if the young adult is not functioning well. And this young man isn't. On the other hand if he does have a decent job and lives on his own it is nonlpnger a parents place to tell the adult child how to live. I do think grief counseling is a great idea. No offense meant!
